MENU DESCRIPTION

Install To tailor the picture to the installation location, you can invert the projected images vertically / hori-

zontally.

• <Front-Floor> : Normal Image

• <Front-Ceiling> : Horizontal/Vertical Reversed Image

• <Rear-Floor> : Horizontally Reversed Image

• <Rear-Ceiling> : Vertically Reversed Image

Lamp Mode Used to set the image brightness by adjusting the amount of light generated by the lamp.

• <Eco> : This mode is optimized for screens smaller than 100 inches.
This mode decreases the lamp brightness and power consumption in order to extend the lamp

lifetime and reduce noise and power consumption.

• <Bright> : This mode maximizes the lamp brightness when the ambient illumination is bright. As
the brightness of the lamp increases, the lamp lifetime can be reduced and the noise and power
consumption may increase.

Auto Keystone If video scenes are distorted or tilted, you can compensate for this by setting the <Auto Keystone>

function to <On> so that the <V-Keystone> function automatically starts.

• <Off>-<On>

V-Keystone If video scenes are distorted or tilted, you can compensate for this using the vertical Keystone func-

tion.

The sound output of your projector is temporarily stopped while the keystone is being changed.

The keystone is not compensated for in the On Screen Display (OSD).

Background You can set the Background that is displayed when there is no signal from the external device con-

nected to the projector.If a signal is received, the Background you set disappears and a normal
screen is displayed.

• <Logo>-<Blue>-<Black>

Test Pattern Generated by the projector itself. Use to optimize the installation of the projector.

• <Crosshatch> : You can check whether the picture is distorted or not.

The LCD panel used in the LCD projector consists of hundreds of thousands of fine pixels. Like other video display devices,
the LCD panel may contain bad pixels which do not operate. When shipping a product, the conditions for identifying bad
pixels and the number of bad pixels that a LCD panel is allowed to contain are strictly managed in accordance with the
relevant specified standards by the LCD panel manufacturer and our company. Though a screen may have some dead
pixels, this does not affect the overall screen quality and the lifetime of the product.

Serial Communication Protocol

1. Command Packet Structure [7bytes]

0x08 0x22 cmd1 cmd2 cmd3 value CS

• A command packet consists of 7 bytes in total.

• The two bytes 0x08 and 0x22 signify that the packet is for serial communication.

• The following 4 bytes represent a pre-defined command that can be defined by the user.

• The last byte is the checksum which checks the validity of the current packet.

• Header [2 Byte]: Pre-defined values fixed to 0x08 and 0x22.

• Cmd1 [1 Byte]: The first value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)

• Cmd2 [1 Byte]: The second value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)

• Cmd3 [1 Byte]: The third value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)

• Value [1 Byte]: Input parameter for the command (Default: 0) (Hexadecimal)

• CS [1 Byte]: Checksum (the 2’s complement of the sum of all the values except for the CS value.)

2. Response Packet Structure [3 Bytes]

1. Success

0x03 0x0C 0xF1

2. Fail

0x03 0x0C 0xFF

• When the received packet from an external device has a valid value, a Success packet is sent. Otherwise, a Fail
packet is sent.

• A Fail packet is sent if:

• The received packet length is not equal to 7 bytes.

• The 2 byte packet header value is not equal to 0x08, 0x22.

• The check sum is incorrect.

• Failure detection by an external device

• An external device classifies the packet as Fail if it does not receive a Success packet within 100ms.
